#TBT: my family circa 1992 (judging from the fact that I am sporting my 5th/6th grade perm and shoulder pads have not yet been outlawed).

And while I’m sad that this picture could never be recreated (my parents divorced, my aunt died, and my grandma isn’t well enough) it’s also heartwarming that there would be an additional 14 people included in a reshoot due to the husbands, wives and kids that have come around since then (more if the furbabies were allowed to join).

I have a really close friend at work. She’s been my rock through so much. But, she happens to have a big mouth. So I never told her about my bloggy-blog because I definitely do not want my boss or staff to know about it and it’s a small office.

She’s pregnant and wanted recommendations on what to register for so I copied and pasted my baby-product must haves posting that I’ve been working on (and will someday get around to posting) and emailed it to her.

She told me she thought my email to her was “blogesque” and I should “seriously consider starting a blog.”
